Mu Mingtang suddenly reacted, âYou lied to me?â
Xie Xuanchen couldnât care about this now. He found a suitable angle and immediately used his strength to vent the amount of anger he had suppressed, âIâve had enough. Do you know how long Iâve tolerated not having this these days?â
âYou!â Mu Mingtang was furious, but at this moment, she was being bullied and she had no power to resist. Quickly defeated and almost collapsing, she scratched Xie Xuanchenâs back with her nails, âBe gentler!â
After working hard for a long time, Xie Xuanchen did not slow down in the end. He felt comfortable, but retribution came the next day.
Mu Mingtang was angry. Very seriously angry.
Xie Xuanchen was sitting in the meeting hall, still thinking about his household matters. He made Mu Mingtang angry again. She was so angry about what happened last night that she ignored him when she woke up and refused to let him touch her.
The pressure in Xie Xuanchenâs heart was almost solidifying. Now, both the government and military affairs of the Zhending Residence were handled by Xie Xuanchen. The judge who came to report the resettlement of the refugees felt his heart skip a beat when he opened the door.
He quickly went to the guards at the door, wanting to try and get some tips from him. However, the guards stood straight and stiff as they werenât even looking at him. The judgeâs heart grew colder, but he went in bravely, âYour Highness, the household registration of the Zhending Residence has been completed.â
Xie Xuanchen glanced at him faintly and said, âSpeak.â
It was as if his words were as valuable as gold. The man only spoke the most necessary words in the coldest tones. The judgeâs scalp was numb as he trembled while reporting on the government affairs.
Xie Xuanchen didnât mean to scare anyone with his solemn expressions, but just the nonchalant look on his face that was void of a smile was enough to make anyoneâs hair stand on end.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The judge spared any form of nonsense when he could and tried to be concise in every word. He feared that he was going to get in trouble should he say anything wrong. This was not easy, but the judge could not stop to even think about it since the Prince despised those who stuttered or seemed indecisive when they spoke.
He finally finished reporting the household registration issues before breaking into a cold sweat all over his body. Xie Xuanchen asked about the population arrangements in the city, pointed out many ambiguities and sent the judge back with a cold face for a re-examination.
The judge responded, sweating profusely, before he hurriedly retreated. Before he went out, he saw another person standing at the door. The two looked at each other and the Deputy General asked with one look, whatâs wrong?
The judge replied with another look, I donât know, good luck to you.
The Deputy General suddenly looked helpless.
He had come here to ask about the military training regulations, but now that he was standing at the door, he didnât really want to go in. Nevertheless, Xie Xuanchen had already heard the movement outside and said, âCome in.â
The Deputy General had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter. After he finished talking about the status of the recent recruits, Xie Xuanchenâs face turned dark. The Deputy General didnât dare to express his anger towards the situation and stared silently at the cracks in the bricks on the ground.
